A large crowd came out on Friday afternoon for the
annual Lincoln Community High School Homecoming Parade. The weather
was perfect, warm but not hot with a gentle breeze blowing, and best
of all, bright blue skies with just a fluffy cloud here and there.

Among the many entries in the parade was that of the Grand Marshal
Patsy Zurkammer. She has long been a beloved staff member at LCHS,
well known by many.

This year's parade was blessed with musical performances by the
Lincoln Junior High School Band and the LCHS Band. The cheerleaders
and dance teams offered performances, and the sports teams from
around the community including high school golf, swim and football,
were all in the parade. The Lincoln youth football teams were also
well represented.

The high school's homecoming royalty was paraded through town in the
back of convertibles along with the 2022 Miss Logan County Fair
Queen Emma Stoltzenburg and Junior Miss Isabella Pollice. Another
member of royalty on hand was Miss Central Illinois Princess Brielle
Wilson.

Candy was being tossed out to anxious children who dashed into the
street to snatch up as much as possible before the next parade entry
arrived.
In all, it was a perfect day for a parade and the perfect parade for
the day.
